To many, this college football season is one for the ages. With all of the upsets and a virtual smörgåsbord at the top of the rankings, it is hard to disagree with those people. However, what I saw two days ago from 2 of the 5 BCS Bowls made me sick. In both the Rose […]

Apologies to those who are just a few weeks removed from their contract law final. Feel free to stop reading now. By now you probably know that West Virginia University’s Board of Governors is suing former football coach Rich Rodriguez (inset) in order to collect a $4 million buyout of his contract with the school.

Adam Taxin Show #7
New Years Day was probably the last day that I wanted to wake up early to do a radio interview, but I manned up and talked some college football with Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch and NFLPA agent/radio host Adam Taxin on 1540 AM WNWR in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Crouch and I had faith in Illinois, […]
The festival of lights has commenced. But ladies and gentlemen, get your Hanukkah facts straight. If you are going to quote Adam Sandler like some woman did on the new show called Duel (hosted by ESPN Radio host Mike Greenberg), you better know what he said. It’s eight crazy nights, not twelve. And her husband […]
Two college coaching contracts made a splash this week. University of Minnesota men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith finalized a contract Tuesday that will pay him $1.75 million annually, making him the highest-paid employee in University of Minnesota history. Smith’s seven-year contract was agreed upon roughly nine months after the former Kentucky coach was hired to […]
It’s not in time for Christmas, but a new book due out next month will still seem like a lump of coal in Reggie Bush’s stocking this holiday. Roughly one month after Lloyd Lake, a partner along with San Diego businessman Michael Michaels in the failed sports marketing agency New Era Sports & Entertainment, played […]

Brett D. Yormark, president […]

Missouri And West VA Lose, BCS Anarchy
Having finals to study for allows me to stay home and watch the big Saturday night games. Pittsburgh beat WVU in West Virginia and Oklahoma has less than 10 minutes left before the Sooners pull off a big win against Mizzou. Here are my early BCS predictions: BCS Championship – Ohio State vs. LSU Rose […]
Despite being in the thick of the National Championship race—a #1 standing in the BCS rankings and looming showdowns with Arkansas this Friday, and either Tennessee or Georgia at the SEC Championship on December 1st—LSU head football coach Les Miles may indeed have one eye already on the Michigan job, recently vacated by Lloyd Carr.

Sign On The Dotted Line
Last week, Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis sparked up some conversation (albeit very little convo) about high school prospects signing letters of intent (LOI) with collegiate universities. I am sure that Will Leitch of Deadspin.com was not the only one out there wondering for a while why players give up their rights so early to sign […]
